The Gentleman’s Journal went to see furniture maker, businessman and shop keeper David Linley. Born into the Royal family, Linley is the son of the Princess Margaret and renowned photographer, Lord Snowdon. Linley spoke to us about starting a business, recession, the web and the future of his brand.
New Balance was launched in 1906 when a waiter in Boston, Mr William Riley, developed arch supports for people who worked on their feet all day. By 1928, Mr Riley had developed his first running shoe, and from there New Balance has grown into a global footwear phenomenon. Today this cult american footwear is still renowned for its high-performance trainers that don’t compromise on style. This limited edition celebrates 30 years of manufacturing in the UK and features a tartan textile lined inner, the unique cushioned sole and gold lace plates.
This limited edition damson infused vodka from London distillers, Sipsmith, is the only product of its kind on the market. They have created a well balanced and delicious flavoured vodka, that is both good on its own, and when mixed in a winter cocktail. We recommend trying the Damson Royal, half a measure of Sipsmith Damson Vodka mixed with a glass of sparkling wine or champagne.
Raffles Members club was in full festive swing last night. Toasting the opening of Winter Wonderland they threw an after party with a dress code of Christmas jumpers. Archie Norman and Charlie Laurie took to the decks remixing some old school classics, while Arabella Holland, Alexandra Townsend-Rose and Jemima Cadbury came up with their own dance routine…… all we can say is very interesting. Made in Chelsea’s Richard Dinan chatted away to club owner Sachin Khanna and Toby Speak, Sam Biker and Harry De La Rue kept the drinks flowing from their table in the corner. Golly what festive fun and it’s still only November!

It’s that time of year again when a feel good comedy is released just in time for Christmas. This year it comes in the form of Gambit, a remake of the 1966 Michael Caine film and it teams an uptight art curator (Firth) and a Texas rodeo queen (Diaz) in a scam involving a London
The ski season is immanent and one must prepare to look the part on the slopes. The Journal runs through some quick tips to optimise your slalom technique, so you don’t look like an amateur and wipe out in front of the rest of the group!
The Gentleman’s Journal visits Thomas Pink’s Jermyn Street flagship store and meets Global Marketing Director, Alex Field, who explained the beauty of the bespoke shirt service…
The longly anticipated collaboration between Maison Martin Margeila and H&M has arrived, with a tremendous ensemble of exquisite pieces. This camel overcoat with inverted lapels is one of our favourites, and is a little bit of designer style at high street prices. If you fancy this piece then be sure to do something about it
From humble beginnings, Canadian David Furnish started in advertising with the ambition to produce films. Now co-chief of Rocket Pictures and chairman of the Elton John Aids Foundation, Furnish talks to The Gentleman’s Journal about film, fatherhood and being one half of the most famous same sex couple in the world.
This recently refurbished duplex apartment really has the bachelor pad wow factor. Located in West London, it has excellent transport links, with Paddington being around the corner. It is arranged over two floors of an attractive stucco fronted building. The rooms are all bright and extremely well proportioned and what really sets this property apart
It’s that time of year again when Champagne offers are everywhere, in a bid to try and tempt us to spend our money earlier. If your clever, now is the time to stock up for Christmas, saving you a few pounds in the process. One of the top deals at the moment is this Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne down to £15 from £25. It is a light and fruity Champagne with fine discreet bubbles and subtle overtones of apples and pears. Has undergone 4 years cellar ageing. Perfect for warming up the colder nights. A great steal for the weekend too.
The fit, fabric and colour are all vital ingredients to a well balanced look. Mr Jonny Johansson, creative director of ACNE, has spent months developing an evening wear capsule collection. The look is a complete evening wardrobe but all the components work as separate pieces as well, lending to the Swedish tradition of making both stylish and functional clothes.
Your ride has arrived. Like us, you’ve probably also been longing for an open-air Aventador to grace your presence. It is here – The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster adds a two-piece removable carbon fiber roof to the already lust-worthy racer, while retaining the best features from the coupe.
In the second interview with high profile, London-based entrepreneurs, The Journal went to see the voice of luxury travel at Mason Rose in Knightsbridge. During our time, Tanya Rose told us the secrets of her success and the best luxury locations the world has to offer. masonrose.com
As the manufacturer’s first foray into the digital medium format arena, the Pentax 645D brings plenty of appealing features to the game, including a 40MP, 44 x 33mm, Kodak-developed CCD sensor that’s designed to deliver professional image quality exceeding that of a 35mm full-frame DSLR. With a nod to Pentax’s original medium format film 645 camera system, the new digital SLR version looks and feels every bit as solid as its well-respected 1980s-born ancestor, sporting a similarly intuitive design. The Pentax 645D’s headline feature is its 40MP CCD sensor: measuring 44 x 33mm, images reach a top resolution of 7264 x 5440 pixels, giving plenty of scope for some pretty severe cropping if necessary, as well as extremely high-quality large format printing options.
